So you've never, EVER, heard a vehicle or craft referred to as ''her'' before then?
Not ever, in your entire life?
You're not familiar with this practice or tradition?
This is completely front page news to you?

Screw the sheep that all have the same car.
Tidy the kit up,
replace the wheels
lower it a bit more,
boom retro 2001. Or you can go to a car show and have something that looks like every other corsa there.
SVM, all my toys are girls, bikes get ridden and cars get driven. All females.
D4 (corsa) was male though, or it would have been a lesbo with D5. Lesbo car porn?

Just wondered if you were a fan or not. And if you were going to keep it or swap it out.
It's quite the acquired taste.

40mm on standard shocks. Probably wont get away with much on on the rear with a 5dr (plus tyres look like a 50 profile so quite chunky). You'll probably need to get the hammer out on the arches. Don't try to go OTT, clean it up, paint it. "Back in the day" a kit like this, people loved it. These days people want to be like the VAG group and if its not GSi kitted or standard looking they don't like it. Its boring.
But IMO, concentrate on the bikes, faster, cheaper, require more skill and balls (but save it for trackdays, its less painfull ). I ride bikes too

You'll need lowering springs, prob about £70 ish. And some basic tools and spring clamps.
Basically your changing the standard springs for shorter ones, but using the original shocks, don't go below 40mm.
Its a good place to start as well as will show if you have any room to fit the wheels under the arches.

Just cut your current springs with a grinder and put a cb aerial on the roof
